Bathed in soft light discussed adoringly in fan magazines and shown wearing the latest fashions these 'cinematic stars emerged in opposition to France's traditional stage - based stardom while remaining through the roles they played and the looks they sported a distinctly French phenomenon. The French Screen Goddess examines how these stars influenced the narratives and look of their films contributed to defining the period's new emancipated femininity - the 'modern woman - and related to the decade's politics particularly the Popular Front of the mid - 1930s. The book focuses on the three most important examples of this type of stardom Annabella Danielle Darrieux and Michele Morgan while also considering many other key stars such as Arletty Viviane Romance and Jean Gabin. Previously neglected films are considered and true classics of French cinema re - examined with Rene Clair's Quatorze juillet Julien Duvivier's La Bandera and Marcel Carne's Le Quai des brumes and Hotel du Nord foremost among these.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The French Screen Goddess Film Stardom And The Modern Woman In 1930s France\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Driskell Jonathan (Monash University Malaysia)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781780767000\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 256 Pages, 25 Bw Integrated\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 3\/26\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Cultural Studies","brand":"Driskell Jonathan (Monash University Malaysia)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49623271178545,"sku":"IN-G-9781780767000","price":180.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781780767000.jpg?v=1724778329","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781780767000-the-french-screen-goddess-film-stardom-and-the-modern-woman-in-1930s-france","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
